Portraits that make a home

There are many reasons to have a professional portrait photograph. One of the biggest is to turn a house into a home with The Story of You.

Dave Close - Wedding and Portrait photographer based in Manchester UK.

Hi I’m Dave

 I’m a portrait and wedding photographer shooting couples individuals and families in the North West.

I am married to a wonderful wife and we have two grown up children with five fabulous grandchildren.

I am a food lover and enjoy cooking at home especially indian, asian, mexican,  and many others.  I am also a lover of chocolate and a good ale but in moderation.

My mission is to take and present beautiful photographs for wall art and storybooks, while giving an amazing and relaxing experience.

Portrait photographs are stories you can’t put into words.  They are expressive images of family, couples, and individuals that reveal your personalities to last a lifetime.  When displayed around the house they make it home.

We choose furnishings, decorate and interior design our homes to suit our own personal style and taste. So when we come home at night we can relax and feel at ease. Pictures of ourselves, our partners and family multiply that air of relaxation. The reminding us of good times.

Pictures displayed in the home of the children increases their confidence and self-esteem. It tells them they are valued and in particular an important member of the family. Helping you to create a beautiful living space turning a house into a home with portraits.

This is your story.

I would love to help you to create a beautiful living space turning a house into a home with fabulous portraits of you and your partner and family.
